The NiCr–TiB2–ZrB2 composite coating was deposited on the surface of blades made of steel (SUS304) using high-energy ball milling technology and air plasma spraying technology, which aimed to relieve the wear of the blades during operation. The influence of titanium diboride (TiB2) and zirconium diboride (ZrB2) on the microstructure and wear resistance of the coatings was investigated by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, Vickers microhardness tester, and a wear tester. The results showed that the TiB2 and ZrB2 particles were unevenly distributed in the coatings and significantly increased the hardness and anti-wear, which contributed to their ultra-high hardness and extremely strong ability to resist deformation. The performance of the coatings was improved with the increase of the number of ceramic phases, while the hardness and wear resistance of the coating could reach their highest value when the TiB2 and ZrB2 respectively took up 15 wt.% of the total mass of the powder.

NiCrBSi alloy coatings are widely used in wear and corrosion protection at higher temperature. As a primary hard phase forming element, B element can effectively improve the coating hardness. In this study, the low coefficient of friction of BN with three ratios (10%, 20%, and 30%) was added in order to reduce the wear rate and provide additional B element. The NiCrBSi/h-BN composite coatings were successfully prepared on a cast-iron substrate using supersonic air-plasma spray technology. The phase constitution, microstructure characterization, and microhardness of the coatings before and after oxyacetylene flame remelting were investigated by means of scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction, and energy dispersive analysis of X-ray techniques, respectively. The wear resistance of composite coatings was also tested in this paper. It was found that the microstructure was well refined by remelting treatment and this was beneficial for the adherence between the coating and the substrate, which was nearly 33[Formula: see text]MPa. The wear resistance of the NiCrBSi alloy coating was also improved with the increasing component of h-BN in remelted samples. When the h-BN content reached 30%, the friction coefficient decreased to 0.38 for the remelted coating. The effect of the remelting process on the anti-abrasive property and extension of the material’s wear life was quite important.

In order to improve the wear resistance of mild steel products, the Fe-based alloy layer was melted on the surface of mild steel by high-frequency induction cladding. Using scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy and x-ray diffraction observation of microstructure of the alloy coating, wear resistance of the coating was evaluated. The results showed that: between the coating and the substrate is metallurgical bonded; The microstructure of coating layer was compact actinomorphous structure with plentiful nubby and strip eutectics; Actinomorphous structure was mixed structure of martensite and γ alloy solid solution covered with a large number floriform and dendrite eutectic; The coating has high hardness and good wear resistance.

ABSTRACTWe investigated through X- ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy the crystal refinement of the intermetallic compound AIRu by high- energy ball milling. The deformation process causes a decrease of crystal size to 5–7 rum and an increase of atomic level strain. This deformation is localized in shear bands with a thickness of 0.5 to 1 micron. Within these bands the crystal lattice breaks into small grains with a typical size of 8–14 rum. Further deformation leads to a final nanocrystalline structure with randomly oriented crystallite grains separated by high- angle grain boundaries.

High energy ball milling has been used like alternative route for processing of materials. In the present paper, the reduction of tungsten oxide by aluminum in order to obtain metallic tungsten was studied using a SPEX type high energy mill. A powdered mixture of WO3and metallic aluminum, weighed according to the stoichiometric proportion with an excess 10% Al, was processed with hardened steel utensils using a 1:6 powder-to-ball ratio. The processing was carried out with milling jar temperature measurement in order to detect the reaction type. The temperature evaluation indicated the self-propagating reaction occurrence by fast increase of the jar temperature after a short milling time. The tungsten oxide reduction was verified by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis and the milling products were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The results were slightly different from the literature due to the mill type and milling parameters used in the work.

In this paper, WC-Ni60 alloy composite coating with different contents of WC particles was prepared on the 45steel substrate by high frequency induction cladding. The Composition and microstructure were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and electron probe X-ray microanalysis (EPMA), the abradability and hardness were tested by UMT-2 tribometer and HV-50A durometer, respectively. The results showed that the hardness and wear resistance of coating were enhanced with the increasing of WC content. WC-Ni60 coating obtained the best wear resistance with the content of 50% WC. The hardness of the coating got the highest when the content of WC was 60%, but wear resistance decreased. The WC-Ni60 coating was reinforced for various hard phases and the metallurgical bonding layer about 10μm was formed between coating and 45steel substrate.

The composite processing between laser cladding and low temperature (300°C) ion sulfurization was applied to prepare wear resistant and self-lubricating coating. The microstructure, morphology, phase composition, valence states, and wear resistance of the composite coating were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscope (AFM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscope (XPS), and friction and wear apparatus. The results indicate that the laser cladding Ni-based coatings and the maximum hardness of 46.5 HRC were obtained when the percent of pure W powder was 10%, composed of columnar dendrites crystals and ultrafine dendritic structure. After ion sulfurization at 300°C for 4 h, the loose and porous composite coating is formed with nanograins and the granularity of all grains is less than 100 nm, which consists ofγ-(Fe, Ni), M23C6carbides, FeS, FeS2, and WS2. Furthermore, the wear resistance of the composite coating is better than the laser cladding Ni55 + 10%W coating, and the friction coefficient and mass losses under the conditions of dry and oil lubrication are lower than those of laser cladding Ni55 + 10%W coating.

Mechanically induced crystallization of an amorphous Fe90Zr10 alloy was studied by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Under high-energy ball-milling in an AGO-2 mill, melt-spun Fe90Zr10 ribbons undergo crystallization into BCC α- Fe(Zr). Zr atoms are found to be solved in the Fe(Zr) grains up to a maximum supersaturation of about 3.5 at.% Zr, where it can be presumed that the remaining Zr atoms are segregated in the grainboundaries. The decomposition degree of the amorphous phase increases with increasing milling time and intensity. It is proposed that the observed crystallization is deformation-induced and rather not attribute to local temperature rises during ball-collisions.
